Boedhihartono, A. K., P. Gunarso, P. Levang, and J. Sayer 2007. The principles of conservation and development: do they apply in Malinau? Ecology and Society 12(2): 2. https://doi.org/10.5751/ES-02060-120202
Highlights
The Kabupaten, or District, of Malinau came into existence in 1999 when the larger District of Bulungan was subdivided
Attempts to reconcile economic development with environmental conservation in a forest area in East Kalimantan, Indonesia, are reviewed for the district of Malinau, East Kalimantan, Indonesia, an area of 42,000 km2 that is still largely covered in rainforest
The European Commission and the Ministry of Forestry (2006) reported that over $1 X 109 had been spent on forestry projects, most aiming to conserve resources and achieve sustainability, over the past two decades, and the forests have continued to be mismanaged and lost. This ambition to reconcile conservation and development is echoed at a local level, for instance by commitment of the Bupati, the chief administrator of the District, to develop Malinau as a “Green District”
Summary
The Kabupaten, or District, of Malinau came into existence in 1999 when the larger District of Bulungan was subdivided. The European Commission and the Ministry of Forestry (2006) reported that over $1 X 109 had been spent on forestry projects, most aiming to conserve resources and achieve sustainability, over the past two decades, and the forests have continued to be mismanaged and lost This ambition to reconcile conservation and development is echoed at a local level, for instance by commitment of the Bupati, the chief administrator of the District, to develop Malinau as a “Green District” (Statements on the WWF-Indonesia website accessed in January 2007 (http://worldwildlife.org/news). We suggest that historically there have been four major sources of outside influence on conservation and development pathways These have been measures to promote spatial land-use planning conducted mostly by the central government and supported by conservation organizations that have sought to identify forest areas of high value for biodiversity (RePPProT 1990 and www.panda.org 29 December 2006). The paper, seeks to contribute to the discussion of which development pathways might achieve the optimal balance of outcomes to meet the biodiversity objectives of global environmental interest groups and the developmental objectives of poor local communities
